CDC: The Question Isn't If We'll Have a Coronavirus Outbreak, But When
Does everyone remember the AKSHUALLY brigade of the media telling us three weeks ago that this was no big deal and AKSHUALLY not nearly as dangerous as the flu?
Enemies of the People. Liberals -- including globalist NeverTrump GOPers -- are such religious maniacs on their Holy Doctrine of Open Borders that they'll gladly risk thousands of US deaths before they'll countenance travel restrictions."It's not so much a question of if this will happen any more, but rather more a question of exactly when this will happen and how many people in this country will have severe illness," Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the head of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said during a media briefing Tuesday.Headlines: Iran's Health Minister gives press conference to downplay the dangers of cornoavirus; The health minister is himself diagnosed with coronavirus shortly thereafter.
Iran's deputy HEALTH minister tests positive for coronavirus after looking shaky and unwell while he played down outbreak's dangers - as death toll rises to 15 and cases are exported around the Middle East Iran's deputy health minister Iraj Harirchi was placed into quarantine after testing positive for coronavirus Comes a day after he sweated his way through a press conference while insisting outbreak is under control Iran has officially declared 95 cases and 15 deaths, but there are fears that the true number is much higher Secretary of State Mike Pompeo urged Iran to 'tell the truth' and cooperate with health officials over the virusCoronavirus experts begin panicking, saying that our current containment strategies will fail.
A surge in untraceable clusters of new coronavirus patients around the globe has caused experts to warn that 'containment methods are not going to work'. In South Korea, Singapore and Iran, clusters of infections are leading to a jump in cases of the new viral illness outside China. ... 'A number of spot fires, occurring around the world is a sign that things are ticking along, and what we are going to have here is probably a pandemic,' said Ian Mackay, who studies viruses at Australia's University of Queensland.Italy is now on the verge of a pandemic.
Italy's coronavirus death toll climbs to 11: Four more die as number of new infections increases 45% in one day and panic-buyers strip supermarket shelves bare in Palermo Italy confirmed four more deaths from coronavirus on Tuesday, bringing the total number of fatalities to 11 Four new deaths were announced in Vento and Lombardy - two men and two women, the youngest was 76 Meanwhile the number of cases in the south climbed to three, all of them in the Sicilian capital of Palermo All three infected travelled to the south from the north before a lock-down was put into place last week Italy confirmed 95 new cases bringing the total to 322 as virus jumped to Austria, Croatia and SwitzerlandTom Cruise had planned to shoot the next Mission: Impossible movie in Italy for three weeks. But filming has been halted due to the outbreak. Illegal border crossers are going to be a major vector of disease in the US -- obviously, no one sneaking across the border is going to wait in quarantine for two weeks. No one gets a coronavirus test before a night crossing. And there are going to be outbreaks in illegal immigrant communities, which will then spread to the general population. But the important thing is to pretend we don't know that and all join together in Pandemic Solidarity. We must share each other's deadly diseases equally -- that's the only Just and Equitable way in this New World Order of unhinged transnational progressivism/radical corporate archlibertarianism. Nothing -- not even the potential for tens of thousands of deaths -- must stand in the way of the free movement of people and goods across fictitious "national borders." That said, I want Trump to be more overtly pro-active that he's being. I don't want this downplayed or soft-played. As Tom consiglierte said to mob boss Leo in Miller's Crossing: "I'd worry less if I thought you worried more." Now who caused all this? One man has a theory.

While I agree that we should have robust travel restrictions and in other ways take this seriously, I don't think that the data warrant fear of a pandemic.
Americans are healthier and more fastidious than most, and our health care system, in spite of its many flaws, can deliver quality care at great speed, so the deaths that are occurring in third world counteries won't happen here.

Complete ban on travel to or from infected areas and total removal and quarantine on remote military bases of those infected until the epidemic has passed.
But since that will never be allowed to happen, expect a lot of sick people and deaths.
And the media and donks cheering this on for political benefit.

I just talked to my son who is in London. I asked if there were a lot of people wearing masks. He said there were a few when he arrived at the airport but not out on the street. He said it has been cold and rainy there so maybe keeping people inside but there does not seem to be the kind of concern that seems to be building here.

Do not believe any numbers coming out of China. They lie routinely, and flat make shit up. There was a piece the other week about Chicom mortality and infection data.
There was 100% correlation with a certain model curve. 100 fucking percent. Which means they were just running the model and publishing the numbers it cranked out, not even the slightest attempt to add randomness to make it look halfway good.
They do this with everything, economic data, etc, etc, etc.
Pay no attention to their official data.

Canned foods that you like and normally buy? Buy a few extra cans every week. If they are on sale? Stock up. Buy the stuff you normally buy and like. I have tried some generic and store brands that were awful to vile.
Stock up on paper goods like Kleenex, TP and paper towels.
Bleach is a good disinfectant, but liquid bleach turns into water in a few months. Buy Dry chlorine bleach (Clorox) or dry swimming pool chlorine.
Buy stuff you use if you are sick, soup, Gatorade, soda, crackers.
Can you get a 90 day supply of your meds? Do this right freaking now!!
Wash your hands thoroughly and often. Clean doornobs, handles, phones, etc.

IMO The Chinese used this as an excuse to lock down and remove some "undesirables" - Yes, Coronavirus exists, but notice how no one is talking about Hong Kong protests anymore.
Trump WILL come out of this looking like a leader because he IS ONE. If it gets serious he will shut the border and protect Americans. And if the left scream about it, then he will do what he ALREADY STARTED which is to say "The Left will complain no matter what I do."
What can the Dems do? Complain that he's not doing enough or complain he's doing to much? You can't hype the danger and complain about Trump showing an abundance of caution.

- 426 total tested in America. Tests are unreliable and give false negatives at a 70% clip
- influenza like illnesses are still on the rise and reports of flu like illnesses remain high as flu season wanes. It is higher now than at the peak of last year's severe season.
Sounds like things are beginning to accelerate 4 weeks after the 5 million Typhoid Marys left Wuhan before the 24th. About the same time as the incubation period.
If numbers are correct and it sends 20% to the hospital in serious to critical condition, it will put a heavy strain on resources.
Also, Trump team sending Larry Kudlow on CNBC tonight to say it's contained and airtight in America was dumb.

The primary complication at this point that is killing people seems to be pneumonia. Right now we are also battling the annual flu season so the risk is that hospitals get overloaded.
There is also some indications that it is leaving lesions on lungs which is why the CT scans pick it up so you may have longterm issues from fibrosis.
As of yet, children and people in good health under 40 or so, are not having much of a problem with it.
Instapundit has a good roundup of sources from a variety of places that is updated frequently.

The CDC and all the infectious disease experts are always worried about the next Spanish Flu. And there are fears that everything new that comes down the pike is going to be this Spanish Flu 2.0, or Disease X as they call it in their modelling and planning.
So, they're always worried about that. And with good reason. It has happened before and it will happen again. Whether this one is it or not, who knows.

The coronavirus is a disease with a mortality rate that seems to
correlate with poor sanitary conditions and inferior medical facilities
plus a tendency towards smoking. Seventy percent of Chinese men smoke.
China
is getting whacked but other countries not so much. Japan, which is a
country with fastidious about cleanliness, so far has had only 1 death.
Other western countries are similar.

I've never worried about these before. This one's different though. Especially since it appears to be 100% engineered. And they've done everything they can to hush it. And China appears to be cremating remains 24/7. The death rate could be hovering around 10%.
The best part? You can re-contract it. Only then you die. If this mutates like most viruses, will it be less lethal, or more? I still remember my ex's Grandmother telling me stories of fleeing the East coast to CA trying to outrun the Spanish flu.

The US has not had new cases, but we really aren't testing. (tested like under 1000 nationwide I think). They are planning to test in major cities, those that show flu symptoms but test negative for the flu ... as an early indicator of whether we have been penetrated by the virus.
Sealing the borders would make sense, as many countries are doing. "But that is racist, even if it means contagion for all of us white privileged folks." For them, making us all sick is a feature, not a "bug". tick tock

it isn't just San Francisco and LA. Any blue city has areas that are a risk. Will you run across people that have to interact with these homeless people? Do they walk through panhandlers or take public transit? Likely these normal people will get exposed.
Does anyone think LA will have a plan to deal with a Coronavirus Epidemic in their 50,000+ homeless people?
Quarantines?
Medical Treatment?
Bio waste Removal?
They are FUUUUUU-----ED!!!

Typical of the flu, inflammation causes fluids in the lungs and congestion, which cause bacteria like pneumonia to develop if you don't get treatment. So, a Z-pac script with a side order of prednisone for inflammation should put you to right in a week or so...
In 2 months this will peter out in the US - you heard it here first. And everyone will wonder what the fuss was about.
But we definitely need to start developing anti-biotics in the US - and not depend on third world shitholes like China...among other things.

The conventional wisdom about the Spanish Flu was that it caused the immune overreation (cytokine storm) and that was the reason from the increased mortality in the young and health. Your immune system overreaction kills you.
However, that view is being challenged I was reading. There was heavy wartime censorship, and concentration of people in unsanitary conditions, and one group was arguing that was the true cause of the increased mortality.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at February 25, 2020 08:05 PM (f1Vqw)
The Spanish Flu started in Haskell County Kansas, and spread to the Army Recruits in Fort Dodge. From there, the Army spread it nationwide with troops heading to Europe.

I received a flu shot and a pneumonia shot at my first visit to my new daktari a couple of weeks ago. One in one arm, one in the other.
Woke up sicker than a dog the next day, was almost functional the day after that, then my left arm started swelling and I could barely raise it. Then the swelling went down and it started itching and still itches a bit two weeks later now.If that's any indication, I should never get sick again as long as I live.
There's no vaccine for the Corona virus yet, so gigs down on the tourista end of town will remain a slight concern for the immediate future. Not many Oriental folks there, fortunately.

Interestingly, though, the beeps contained a lot of frequency content. When my audiologist tested me with the Ling 6 (ah, ee, oo, ss, sh, mm), I got 4/6 of them right purely by the frequency (I know the relative frequencies of those sounds from many years looking at charts), even though they were all just beeps.
One really great change is that I can now actually recognize people's voices on the phone. I used to not even recognize my own mother's voice (in the days before caller ID), but now I can recognize my coworkers with about 80% accuracy, which is great for a job with as many telecons as mine has (the team is distributed across the country).

So far, it does not seem to be causing the cytokine storm for the young and healthy which the Spanish Flu did. But on the other hand, elderly patients may be much more at risk while they may have resistance to normal flu by surviving it in the past.
The major way it appears to kill is similar to the regular flu which is by the way of complications in people that are risk factors for flu complications as well. There is some talk about genetic susceptibility but so far, it is more speculation than anything.
That being said, the complications and death rate may be much higher when all is said and done for at risk patients than normal flu season which is normally around .001 to .003 or so most years. A 2% death rate would be quite substantial among at risk elderly etc. and much more like the Spanish Flu epidemic.
Places like nursing homes and memory care facilities might also be much at risk.

2) How deadly is this shit anyway? Everyone is freaking out, then I hear, no, it isn't that dangerous. I suspect (apropos of nothing) that it is really only dangerous for the very old. a 1% death rate would be most in the 80+ crowd. The young and healthy seem to be fine. or not...Either way no one seems to be saying. Like they don't know, or won't tell?

It's always a safe bet that the CDC and WHO are either overstating things, or understating them.
They're generally worse than the media when it comes to getting facts right.
And the media... as always, the best assumption is they're almost entirely wrong in whatever they're reporting on this.

One small thought I've been having...did the Chicoms do this on purpose.
They don't care about humanity...and they have been acting a bit guilty, from what I've seen. It could be a response to Trump's economic policies.
A paranoid thought, but sometimes you need to take into account every alternative.

But why do it in Central China?
Why not India, Pakistan, or Phillipines? You could do it with some deniability there.
Or if you want to punish Hong Kong, release it in Hong Kong. Imagine Biosuited crews going door to door in Hong Kong, rounding up the sick to go to the hospitals and the known protesters going straight to the incinerators. Ooops, they died of Coronavirus.

That whole fish market thing and eating bats was a smoke screen. The story I'm hearing is that the Wuhan lab responsible for the release was studying bats as they have immunity to certain viruses. Could be if it was accidental, some guy got bit through a glove, didn't want to get fired and went on Homer Simpson style like everything was fine. It sadly seems plausible.

The Dem/Media Complex demands Trump do something, anything, to stop the spread of the virus. OK, how would you folks like these steps to stop the spread: All schools closed; all meetings of more than ten people prohibited, including all K-12, college, amateur and pro sports events; all commercial flights, passenger train runs, and bus service stopped; and anyone with even one symptom of CoVid-19 shipped off to a quarantine facility? Do you want the spread of any easily communicated virus stopped or not?

The Chinese are reporting and reports coming out of China that recovered patients are coming back worse.

Also, fits with the HIV component of attacking the T-Cells, which is why HIV meds are being used to treat Corona Chan.

BUT! It had a contagion rate of 50%.
It doesn't seem that the Coronovirus has a contagion rate anywhere near as high, so we may dodge a bullet.
And don't forget: during the 2019 flu season in the US, about 16,000 people died, according to the CDC.
Yes, most did not get the flu vaccine, but no, there's no coronavirus vaccine to be had , at least so far.
So the contagion rate will drive the train.

From all accounts in the Western World, the overall effects are rather mild unless you are elderly and/or have other health factors that make you a risk.
Regarding re-infection, no authoritative source for that
Regarding genetics, no authoritative source for that
Regarding youth and good looks getting milder cases, appears very likely from stats outside of China.
Regarding complications, seems to be pneumonia.
Regarding health care workers, high risk of getting it, unsure about whether viral overload such as in crowded conditions with disease carriers, might cause a higher risk.
Regarding closed in places, risk is higher--cruise ship indicates that close quarters, even with physical separation creates a higher risk of getting it.
Regarding infectiousness, this appear fairly serious as kennel cough in general is pretty infectious in dogs and horses. Long run time with slight or no symptoms in many guarantees spreading throughout the world in the near term.
Regarding mutations--no authoritative source.
So, it is a concern, especially if you are or have elderly parents, loved ones, friends, etc. Hospitals and doctors offices could very well be disease magnets and kids at school could be carriers. So isolation might be advisable at this time--but technology could make the loneliness better through video conferencing. Now is the time to set this up.
I would advise having some antibiotics and steroids at hand to fight inflammation and consult a doctor about getting a pneumonia shot if you are at risk. Also have rehydrating fluid or the stuff to mix it up with, high dose vitamin C which some evidence is that it has antiviral qualities, and plenty of toilet paper, cleaning products such as bleach and antiviral cleaners, and be prepared to both be sick. If really worried, have at least a 30 day supply of food so you do not have to get out. If elderly or at risk, you might want more.
Read up on the CDC and WHO websites and other such authoritative sources and then compare with the alternative media info. Be skeptical of both--my guess is that is not all rosy, especially for the elevated risk to the elderly, but it is not the Black Death or small pox either.

From some indications, they were simply piling people into areas like arenas with beds and treating symptoms rather than complications which would appear to be a new infection when it is the same.
Respiratory illnesses do not work in the fashion that you are saying--what it does appear to do in somewhat rarer cases is affect some internal organs such as the kidneys or intestinal lining from some reports. I seriously doubt it is like herpes and a persistant viral infection as other places other than China with this have not reported such. Losing face is more a problem for Chinese than dishonesty so I would take most reports from there with a grain of salt.
What is most interesting and useful is the cruise ship incubator as it would be in the conditions of great proximity, ignoring protocols for about three days, using common areas, and quite a few elderly patients. We are not seeing a death rate anywhere near what is alleged in China and apparently not a huge amount of serious complications so far.
